Question

(D) and $D$ are incorrect. However,$D$ is the most fundamentally incorrect statement regarding the definition of relative lowering of vapour pressure.

Vedclass · Accepted Answer

The relative lowering of vapour pressure is directly proportional to the original pressure.

Vedclass · Answer

(D) and $D$ are incorrect. However,$D$ is the most fundamentally incorrect statement regarding the definition of relative lowering of vapour pressure. According to Raoult's law,the relative lowering of vapour pressure is given by $\frac{P^o - P}{P^o} = X_{solute}$. This value depends only on the mole fraction of the solute and is independent of the nature of the solute or the original vapour pressure of the solvent. Furthermore,vapour pressure itself is not a colligative property; the relative lowering of vapour pressure is the colligative property.
